AccuLoad III Blending
Sequential Blending
Sequential Blending
• Blending of More Than One Product Into a Truck Through the Sequencing of Product-Specific Block Valves One Product at a Time Through One Meter With Up to 50 Recipes Available.
• The ratio of varying products is designated in the recipe as a percentage of the total preset.
• These percentages must total 100%.
• AccuLoad automatically calculates the actual volumes of each product to be delivered.
• The order of product delivery must be included in the recipe definition.

Ratio Blending
Ratio Blending
• Blending More Than One Product Into a Truck Simultaneously Through Dedicated Product Lines Each Having Its Own Meter and Control Valve Co-Mingling in a Common Header
• The ratio of the component products is designated in the recipe as a percentage of the total preset.
• These percentages must total 100%.
• The AccuLoad III automatically calculates the actual volumes of each product to be delivered.
• Flow rates are adjusted for optimal blend accuracy while conforming to the programmed system flow profile using Smith's exclusive control algorithm.

Hybrid Blending
Hybrid Blending
• Hybrid Blending is a Combination of Sequential Blending and Ratio Blending.
• Suited for Applications Such as Ethanol Blending or Bio-Diesel Blending.
• The Sequential Products Flow One at a Time.
• Ratio Products Flow Simultaneously with Each of the Sequential Products.
• Ratio Product(s) can be Plumbed Either Upstream or Downstream of the Sequential Product Meter.
• Up to 5 Ratio Product Meters on One Arm

• Each Ratio Product for Hybrid Arms Require a Control Valve.
• The Sequential Meter Requires 1 Control Valve.
• Each Sequential Product Requires a Block Valve if Multiple Sequential Products are Programmed.

Wildstream Blending
Wildstream Blending
• Provides Continuous In-Line Blending of two or More Products.
• Load Arm is Configured as Hybrid.
• Meters can be Plumbed Upstream or Downstream
• Programmable Unlimited Preset Parameter.
• Wildstream can be Controlled or Uncontrolled.
• Up to Three Loading Arms With two Products Each
Wildstream Configuration
• The First Meter(s) Configured
are the Controlled Products.
• Number of Controlled Products
is Determined by the Number
of Ratio Products
Programmed.
• The Last Meter Configured is
the Wildstream Product

Unlimited Preset
• Arm High Flow Rate not Required for Unlimited Preset.
• Arm Low Flow Start Rate is not Used for Wildstream.
• If High Flow Rate is Programmed, Excess High Flow Rate Alarm can be Used.
• Controlled Product Flow Rate Based on Wildstream Flow rate.
• AccuLoad Adjusts the Controlled Product Flow Rate to Adjust Blend Percentage in Recipe.
• Timed Blend Algorithm is automatically used When Set to Unlimited Preset.
• Ratio Adjust Factor Algorithm will not be used.
Controlled Wildstream
• Desired Flow Rates are Based on Programmed High and Low Flow Rates.
• Arm High Flow Rate is used if all Meters are Controlled.
• Low Flow Start Rate is Used if all Meters are Controlled.
• Blend Adjustments are Made After Low Flow Start Amount.
• AccuLoad Adjusts Both Controlled Product Flow Rates to Adjust Blend Percentage of Recipe.
